Cinco Ranch No. 1 Community in Houston Texas

Cinco Ranch is nation’s #2 for new-home sales: study
Community also #1 in Houston and Texas

Cinco Ranch is the No. 1 community for new-home sales in Houston and Texas, and ranks second nationwide, according to a new study just released by RCLCO, a leading independent real estate advisory firm which has compiled the annual list since 1994.

With 775 new-home sales in 2008, Cinco Ranch was one of only three communities on the RCLCO list to report positive sales gains for 2008 over 2007. New-home sales in this 7,600-acre community, a development of Newland Communities, increased 7 percent in 2008 compared to the previous year.

The only other communities on the RLCO list with positive sales gains – Telfair in Sugar Land and Eagle Springs in northeast Houston – are also located in Houston, and are also developments of Newland Communities. Overall, Houston was home to five of the top 10 communities on the RLCO list.

“Another highly positive trend for Houston – not reflected on the RCLCO report – is the fact that 2009 new-home sales for the three Newland communities on the top 10 list are on par with, or even ahead of, 2008,” said Ted Nelson, President of Newland's Central Region, which includes Texas.For 2009, Cinco Ranch reported a total of 254 new-home sales through April 19 – a 4.5% increase over the same period in 2008.

"Continued strong new-home sales in Cinco Ranch, Telfair and Eagle Springs prove that during uncertain economic times, homebuyers are choosing quality homes in well-planned, well-located communities with great amenities and lifestyle built in," Nelson said. “Homebuyers seem to be viewing large-scale master-planned communities as strong investments, especially those communities with strong track records, such as Cinco Ranch, now in its 18th year of development.”

Nelson added that Cinco Ranch had an eventful year in 2008, with the mid-year opening of a new 2,400-acre phase that will ultimately contain 5,000 new households. Newland Communities has also worked to expand new-home offerings throughout Cinco Ranch, ranging from neighborhoods appealing to first-time buyers with homes from the $160,000s, to custom estate homes priced in the $1 million range. All three Newland Communities developments on the list also posted increases in the average sales price of new homes in 2008. The average sales price was up 11% in Cinco Ranch, 6% in Eagle Springs and 3% in Telfair. About Newland CommunitiesNewland Communities is the largest private developer of planned communities in the United States. With a legacy that began in 1968, Newland specializes in comprehensive residential and urban mixed-use master planning with expertise in leading large-scale single- and multi-family new-home communities.

Firethorne: Hometown Charm Where the Milkman Still Delivers Milk to Your Door

Remember when the milkman delivered milk to your very door? At Firethorne, West Houston’s newest master-designed community, he still does! In fact, the community has arranged for a local milkman to deliver a free gallon of organic milk to each resident's door every week for the first six months the family lives there.

"It's our way of being neighborly and introducing our residents to Firethorne's hometown charm," said Firethorne General Manager Wayne Meyer. He noted that upon move-in, new residents also receive a fresh-from-the-oven homemade pie from the legendary John & Ann's Pie Shoppe of Katy.

According to Meyer, after a Firethorne homeowner moves in, all they have to do is give the milkman a call. The milkman will answer any questions about the milk and other products he has to offer (fresh dairy products, fresh meats and produce) and can explain how and when delivery is made.

Firethorne is a 1,400-acre residential development designed to carefully combine the vibrancy of West Houston with the small-town charm of Katy/Fulshear. Strategically located on FM 1463 near the crossroads of the 1-10 West corridor, the Westpark Tollway and the Grand Parkway, Firethorne will provide convenient access to the region's foremost mobility plan for exploring Houston.

Currently there are more than 25 homes under construction at Firethorne, with model homes scheduled for completion by year-end. Some of the Houston area's most respected builders -- Coventry Homes, David Powers, David Weekley, Perry Homes and Plantation Homes – comprise the Firethorne builder team. They were selected based upon the highest standards for design, quality, customer satisfaction and reputation. Visit the Builders page for links to their websites.

Firethorne, named for a resilient evergreen indigenous to the Texas prairie, blends with the best nature has to offer: a sparkling blue scenic lake, 150 acres devoted to parks and recreational amenities highlighted by the 12-acre lake with surrounding greenbelt, hike and bike trails, parks and playgrounds, discovery-rich wildlife observation area, a natural bird habitat and more. Family amenities will include a resort-style multi-level family swim center, sports fields, tennis courts, a competitive swim center, plus a neighborhood Community Center with a meeting room and fully equipped fitness facility.

With opportunities for nature discovery all around, plus being located in the acclaimed Katy Independent School District (KISD), Firethorne is rooted in the spirit of learning. KISD, one of only 14 large districts in Texas to earn the "Recognized" distinction, offers unparalleled academic and extra-curricular programs. University of Houston System at Cinco Ranch and the new Cinco Ranch Branch Library are just minutes away.

Barker's Landing, Houston Texas

Barker's Landing, Houston Texas. Homes For In Barker's Landing Houston TX

Barker‘s Landing, Houston, presently has 363 homes, Barker Court has 40 homes and Barker‘s Place has 24 homes. All Barker‘s Landing communities‘ maintenance assessments are payable annually by January 31st. These fees are used for 24-hour security patrol, utilities, administrative services and for maintenance of the common areas, swimming pool, tennis courts and irrigation system. Barker Court and Barker‘s Place are separate subdivisions with individual homeowner‘s associations and maintenance fees and share, on a pro-rata basis with BLHOA, the applicable expenses for common areas, security patrol, etc.

The initial development of Barker‘s Landing began in 1972 on 120 acres of land which was formerly a gardening nursery. Plans were for a gated, single entry, private golf course community called La Cour Du Roi (The King‘s Yard). Only a few homes were built before financial difficulties were encountered and, in 1975/76, ownership of the property changed and a new name of BARKER‘S LANDING was given with plans of a single entry, gated community of townhomes and patio homes. Evidently, sometime around this change the lion figurines, which had previously guarded the entrance, were retired.

Barker‘s Landing is comprised of three subdivisions—Barker‘s Landing, Barker Court and Barker‘s Place. Initial construction of these three began in 1977. Each has its own homeowners association and Board of Directors.

Planned Community Management Inc. (PCMI) handles the administrative functions for all three homeowners associations and is located at 15995 N. Barker‘s Landing Road; Ste. 162. PCMI also performs a monthly inspection of the community to determine if there are violations of the Deeds of Restrictions. Mr. Robert Eaton is the PCMI contact for all three homeowners groups. He can be reached through the PCMI general number at 281-870-0585.

Barker‘s Landing Community Club (BLCC)

BLCC is a social club for all Barker‘s Landing residents. You are automatically a member of BLCC; however, a voluntary annual membership fee of $10.00 per family is gratefully received and these fees are put to the benefit of all living here. These proceeds are used to help beautify the common areas of our subdivision with flowers, shrubs, etc. BLCC holds coffees in the homes of residents and sponsor social events throughout the year. A semi-monthly BLCC Bulletin is published which gives neighborhood news and the meeting schedule on its back page. Encouragement to attend the meetings extends to not only the "lady of the house," but also to the "gentlemen." This forum is a wonderfully fun way to enjoy interesting programs, fabulous food and good conviviality in which to meet your neighbors. The meetings are approximately 2 hours in duration.

BLCC compiles a printed Telephone Directory each year through the volunteer efforts of BLCC members. The Directory is delivered to each resident‘s home by BLCC Block Captains. This small Directory contains a wealth of information on committees, who volunteers their services, By-Laws of BLCC, Pool and Tennis Rules and Regulations and a map showing the composition of our three subdivisions.

With over 30 acres of usable lakes, water is the theme of west Houston’s Grayson Lakes, located in the Katy Independent School District. Grayson Lakes offers new homes priced from the $170,000s to over $700,000 by homebuilders including David Powers, David Weekley, First Texas, Meritage and Partners in Building.

Grayson Lakes has three lakes with fountains and dramatic night lighting. The largest lake, Lake Grayson, meanders throughout the community, offering opportunities for residents to enjoy fishing, canoeing, kayaking and other non-motorized activities.

Many homesites in Grayson Lakes offer direct water frontage, and property lines on waterfront homesites extend all the way to the lake, allowing homeowners to build boat docks and decks right on the shore. Grayson Lakes also has a community dock where homeowners who don’t live directly on the water can launch their watercraft.

Water-based recreation was a major attraction for Grayson Lakes residents, including the Villareal family.

"On a typical weekend, the entire family will spend some quality time paddleboating and fishing," said Steve Villarreal, a father of three. “When we first discovered Grayson Lakes, it was like someone had listened to our discussions about what we wanted in a new community. We don't have to leave home to find activities we can enjoy as a family.”

Grayson Lakes amenities also include greenbelt trails, a tennis center, landscaped reserves, a waterfront recreation center with a swimming pool, and a lakefront park with a community dock. Grayson Lakes also has a community Intranet to help residents stay informed about neighborhood news and activities.

The neighborly scale of Grayson Lakes’ 325-acre master plan appeals to residents such as Susan Jordan.

“Grayson Lakes is not too large and not too small, and most of the neighbors know each other,” she said. “We also liked the large homesites, which go up to ¾ of an acre.”
